Stunning and devastating opening from Newsnight tonight.
Harsh, yes. Media students (and current broadcast journalists!) take note: your edit is nothing without the right choice of music. And oh boy this is quite the choice.

@WillHayCardiff Just interested where did you get that 8% from?

@_meggybread I made the mistake of thinking “let’s not do valentines this year” actually meant we weren’t going to do anything... 😳 I can save half price Valentines chocolates until August right?

It’s not just Cardiff cyclists who enjoy the Vale’s lanes. Local people and from other counties too 🚵‍♀️🚲🏃‍♀️🏇

Bike hangars are a great idea if well-located and perceived as secure by those who need to use them - really glad to see @cardiffcouncil looking into options to increase these in our community! #activetravel #sustainability

[Cardiff Council @cardiffcouncil]

🚴‍♀️We are launching a bike hangar trial scheme, aimed at providing secure cycle parking on the highway for people who have limited bike storage in their homes. If you’d like to nominate a location, please complete this survey https://t.co/33jhY3Hm9V

On Tuesday I had the opportunity to present my work to the @ClimateGroup as part of their #TrackingtoAction Series - introducing our performance indicators system for monitoring and reporting climate change policy and emissions data to over 50 states and regions 1/2

Finding new ways to look after each other is how we’ll get through this.

While it doesn't beat a cwtch, check in on friends and family. And don’t forget to check in on yourself.

“We still have the same cars, the same power plants, the same industries that we had before the pandemic. Without big structural changes, emissions are likely to come back.” latest data on CO2 emissions now in the @nytimes

The reduction in the carbon intensity of British electricity is so amazing, I decided to make a second chart to show it in a different way.

Very interesting lecture by @clequere tonight on the impacts of COVID-19 on climate change and global carbon emissions - the change we see may be temporary but it could provide the wake up call we need to make lasting change in the future #UEAlectureseries
